This study aimed to report the course of an institutional scabies outbreak, which progressed with infestation of immunosuppressed transplant patients, health care workers, and caregivers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients diagnosed with scabies in a nosocomial outbreak in a 200\u2010bed, tertiary hospital were included. Following a diagnosis of scabies in the index patient, strict contact isolation measures were implemented. During the outbreak, a root cause analysis (RCA) was carried out by an infection prevention and control team.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Forty\u2010two individuals were affected (7 patients, 25 health care workers, and 10 family members of the patients) during the outbreak consisting of three attacks. Index case was a multiple myeloma patient who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and presented with crusted scabies. A RCA suggested that upholstery could serve as a means of reservoir. All upholstery of the sofa and armchairs in patient rooms as well as in lounge areas were replaced by wipeable leather material. After the 19\u2010week course of the outbreak, no additional cases of scabies have been observed until now.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>A high index of suspicion should be maintained, particularly in immunocompromised patients, in order to achieve rapid diagnosis of scabies and to implement institutional infection control measures. It should also be borne in mind that the transmission may occur through direct contact as well as fomites, such as upholstery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tid.13284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,10]],"date-time":"2020-04-10T07:25:06Z","timestamp":1586503506000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A
